Construction Materials Stewardship

The CIB Working Commission W115 "Construction Materials Stewardship" was established in January 2007.

Our mission is to:

drastically reduce the deployment and consumption of new non-renewable construction materials, to replace non-renewable materials with renewable ones whenever possible, to achieve equilibrium in the demand and supply of renewable materials and ultimately to restore the renewable resource base, and

carry out these tasks in ways to maximize positive financial, social and environmental and ecological sustainability effects, impacts and outcomes.
